shaking problem please help
Whenever i get above 65mph the front end will start shaking. mostly only while i am accelerating. the tires have recently been rebalanced. I'm wondering what it could be.
*note: car is lowered on ebay adjustable coilovers (crapppy). the car is almost stock height now, but its still on those, i dont know if that affects it.
Does anyone know what this could be? please help.

Re: shaking problem please help
are the tires in good shape? try rotating tires and see if that helps... might be a ball joint or wheel bearing issue too, check those out...

Re: shaking problem please help
I previously returned my car for wheel balancing three times to a tire shop (NTB chain store) and still had the same problem. I then took my car to a local reputable mechanic who found that my wheels were indeed out of balance and then fixed the problem by properly balancing the wheels. It turned out that NTB's balancing machine was not calibrated and there was also user error by the operator. To compensate for this frustration, NTB not only gave me a full refund but also paid for the correct wheel balancing done by the mechanic.

Re: shaking problem please help
take a look at the suspension bits in the front. like another member said earlier, could be parts such as tie-rods, wheel bearings, ball joints, etc...

Re: shaking problem please help
I'm having the same problem... I went underneath and didn't find anything unusual. I even checked all 4 tires if there's a bald spot, a bubble or anything but couldn't find anything.
My friend said it could be my ball joints...

Re: shaking problem please help
Have you been in and accidents were body work would be needed to be changed?
Tires Balanced?
Alignment?
Does it happen when braking if so then might wanna check rotors and or drums?
Also Any bad ball joints inner and or outer tie rod ends and lower and upper control arm? are they all good?
